Business process interruption is a common inhibitor to remediation because organizations often prioritize maintaining their critical operations over implementing security measures that may disrupt those processes. Understanding the importance of this inhibitor helps cybersecurity professionals negotiate remediation activities with minimal impact on business continuity.
